Say What? Uber Sounding Agreeable To European Regulations

Europeans have proven far more aggressive than Americans in pushing for regulatory parity between TNCs and taxis, as a protest earlier this year in London shows. Now Uber is sending signals that it's willing to play ball with European regulators, undercutting the argument that they can't afford to follow the same rules as everyone else.

BRUSSELS — A senior executive of ride-sharing service Uber Technologies Inc. said the company is willing to consider discussing regulation of its services in Europe — offering an olive branch amid heightened scrutiny and outright bans in several places on the continent.
